The earth orbits the sun at a constant spin rate of 1 revolution per year. The dominant (nonzero) acceleration featured in this system is:
a. Tangential acceleration at
b. Angular acceleration
c. Radial (centripetal) acceleration ar
d. Both A and B.
e. All of the above accelerations are 0.
c. Radial (centripetal) acceleration ar
The rate of spin is constant, hence the angular acceleration is constant and zero.
the tangential acceleration is directly proportional to angular acceleration , hence tangential acceleration is also constant and zero.

The earth spins on its axis once a day and orbits the sun once a year (365 1/4 days). Determine the average angular velocity (in rad/s) of the earth as it (a) spins on its axis and (b) orbits the sun. In each case, take the positive direction for the angular displacement to be the direction of the earth's motion.
A comet orbits the Sun and loses mass at a constant rate of 30,000kg/s. The only force acting on the comet is the gravitational force. a) From the definition of torque in terms of angular momentum, torque=dL/dt, show that dI/dt=-alphaI/omega (alpha= angular acceleration, omega=angular velocity) b) The quantity omega/omega(with a dot on it), where (omega with a dot on it=domega/dt) is a natural time scale for the system's change in angular frequency (to see this, think about the units). Approximating...
003 10.0 points Earth orbits the sun once every 365.25 days. Find the average angular speed of Earth about the sun. Answer in units of rad/s. 004 (part 1 of 2) 10.0 points A disk with a radius of 0.1 m is spinning about its center with a constant angular speed of 10 rad/sec. What are the speed and magnitude of the acceleration of a bug clinging to the rim of the disk? 1. 1 m/s and 0 m/s2 (Disk...
Rotation Homework 1 .1.) Clearly explain the difference between rotation and a revolution. 2.) What is linear speed called when something is rotating? 3.) At a constant radius, how does the tangential speed change as the angular velocity increases? 4.) At a constant angular velocity, how does tangential speed change as the radius increases? 5.) A ladybug sits halfway between the axis and the edge of a rotating disk. What will happen to the ladybug's tangential velocity if a.) The RPM rate is doubled? b.) The ladybug...
Question 1 (a)What is the angular frequency of a satellite that orbits the Earth just above the surface? Ignore air resistance . Radius of Earth is Re and centripetal acceleration is ac = (v2)/R. The acceleration at Earth's surface is a = g = (GMe)/(Re2) where Me = mass of Earth. Keep your answer in terms of G, Me, Re. (b) How long would it take you to fall through the center of the Earth and come out the other...
The earth (of radius of 6371km) rotates on itself at a rate of one revolution every 24 hours and is titled by an angle of 23.5°. Let's assume that the earth is a perfect sphere, which allows us to consider a uniform circular motion 23.5 R equator Figure 1: Earth rotation Everybody on earth share the same time of rotation, but based on their location on the earth, they wil have different velocities. A person located in Hawaii, at an...
1 What is the Earth's orbital speed as it orbits the Sun. Take the Earth/Sun distance to be 93 million miles (taking the Earth's orbit to be circular), the mass of the Earth to be 5.97 X 102 kg and the mass of the Sun to be 1.987 X 10*0 kg. Solve this problem using Newton's 2nd law directly 2. A 55.7 kg mass is lifted (at a constant velocity) from the ground to a vertical height of 1275 m....
